Mother's Day camera man

The camera man from the local NBC station came over this evening and filmed with us for about an hour. I think it went fine, but I had frequent trouble with my lips and tongue all sticking in place, not allowing me to get things out right. Ah, the pleasures of Zanaflex and its side effects!

My 6 year old went back to the pediatrician after school. He went a month ago after spending a week with chest congestion and a nasty cough. He spent 2 weeks on Amoxicillin and ended up worse than ever, followed by 2 weeks on Ceolin. He improved a touch but clearly still had a problem. He went to the doctor after school today and had chest and head x-rays. He is going to take 3 days of the steroid prednisone, sudafed, and ProAir inhaler with microchamber/spacer. He swallowed pills for the first time tonight!

Yesterday I had my first clinical trial visit. It took 2 1/2 hours, well over what they said it would. They had to find a proper approved document to put all of my surgical history on since the provided papers had only room for 2. Heck my 5 year old had 2 surgeries by age 3 and this is for adults! Anyway after paperwork, an EKG, urinalysis, bloodwork, and a physical, I was off to start my first trial. I actually don't get the meds for 3 more weeks, after I prove to them (via answering the nightly questions the PDA system they provided me with that transits answers immediately to their office) that I can be trusted to complete their question system at least 70% of the time.If I can't, I'm out. So I'd better do it because we need the money something fierce.

Our home phone and cable were turned off yesterday. Kind of stinks but there are worse things in life.
